My 3 word player analysis V Gold Coast

Featured Replies

Petracca - dynamic and prolific 

Oliver - outstanding first half

Gawn - tried when required 

Harmes - prolific but wasteful 

Jackson - impressive first half

Neal-Bullen - grunt was important 

Brown - rewarded for effort

McDonald - quietish before injury

Brayshaw - impressive gut running 

Pickett - some cameos only

Fritsch - had limited involvement 

Hunt - run was important 

Rivers - was rarely required 

Sparrow - tough but limited

Viney - great tagging role

Lever - was impassable again

May - destroyed his opponent 

Salem - efficient but quiet

Spargo - had limited involvement 

Langdon - another quiet game

Bowey - a promising debut

 

 

 

Joeboy - Late to party

?

 

Pretty good summary. Appreciate your recognition of Brayshaw. Was a big part of our early dominance.

I love Salo, been a fan for a long time, but I wouldn't call 7 turnovers and 3 clangers from 17 touches "efficient".

Agree 100% I hate his little dinky kicks and handballs. He needs to deliver long 50 yard kicks to someone in a good position. He has the kick in him to deliver longer. Just wish he would.


I don't rate the assessment of Spargs, who I thought was at his excellent best.

 

Far too generous on Viney. He was horrendous. 5 free kicks against! I repeat 5! Many of them holding the ball.  

Must be close to getting dropped now. He plays dumb football.

tough on Rivers.....good return to form I thought.


Viney - Thinks he's Judd

Harmes - Thinks he's Dusty

...bit harsh as they had their positives but this is what I was thinking when watching them overdo it.

An otherwise pleasurable game to watch apart from these brain fades and a period I think at the end of the 2nd (maybe 3rd) where we went into luxury (s...a...) mode.

I was born in 1980 my first words as a baby were mum, dad and Robbie Flower.

Let's see how the finals play out this year.

I am hoping Oliver goes to legend status at Melbourne

If we win( or when we win) the 23 plus all the balance of players and  coaches and FD and Board will all be legends!!

Then the status can be apportioned in sounder and saner times!!!

If we make the GF I'd be recommending to every single Demonland poster and reader to back Oliver for the Norm Smith.

Yes I would do that but we are still aways of that feat of making a GF

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
